The application you are going to develop will use a single window (form) to display three data fields. At run-time, the application will connect to a small Microsoft Access database (Test.mdb), and will interact with the "Employee" table. It will deal with three fields in the "Employee" table - "EmployeeNumber" (the primary key), "FirstName", and "LastName". You will create a read-only application that connects to the database and allows you to browse data. Then you will enhance the application to add, delete, and update database records.
This application will demonstrate the value of using PowerCOBOL's high-level ODBC programming functions (methods) to simplify development.
